i believe in trans rights and in trans questionable life choices in the name of love

something about lighthouse books!!! need more of them!!! need more leon and finn!!! 

i’m also such a sucker for the “i’ll find you in any lifetime” trope, what a great start to the year!

5.0

it’s so rare that i love an entire anthology but there is just something special about this book

there’s one alien invasion (more like crash landing) and we follow all the characters it effects, everyone the aliens meet as they’re separated from one another, the found family, the joy, the humour. there is such a strong voice in every story, there’s development and reunions and so much queer joy to find.

some stories made me cry, others made me laugh but all of them made my heart feel warm and fuzzy <3 will be recommending this to every lover of queer joy, found family and aliens
